Parrot Finds Canine Companion For Walking On A Leash

Sure, you put a leash on your dog when you go for a walk. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see a person with their cat on a leash, whether it's for a walk or a visit to the vet. But have you see a parrot on a leash? We think not!

A woman shot this video of a skinny Italian greyhound in a red vest waiting on a red light next to a big white cockatoo, also held on a leash. Watch what happens when the dog sees the bird next to him. Poor dog freaks out and runs to the side, away from the awkward creature standing next to him! However, that didn't throw the cockatoo off his rails, no!

Parrot’s reaction to the dog is most adorable! He goes back near the freaked out pup, as if to better acquaint himself with the skinny dog! This friendly parrot sure wants to befriend a canine walking companion. These two are sure a sight to behold! Truly unique!

The best part about these birds is that they can be super compliant, especially when their owner develops a close-knit bond with the bird. Then they grow to trust them, even enough to let the owner drag them on a leash! That is something you don’t see every day!

Regardless how cute this sight might look, we cannot help but wonder what happens if the bird decides to fly away, given it has a collar around its neck and is attached to a leash? Let’s hope this parrot prefers walking!
